Bring on the Cliff

At our last Small Business Roundtable lunch, we had as our speaker an economist from Arizona State University, who makes the following interesting points: regardless of what you hear on the news, the fiscal cliff is actually good news for small business owners who make up nearly 45% of the work force in terms of employment and job creation. This group has been the group most afflicted by the recent fiscal policies of this administration, and the fiscal cliff will essentially starve the government of regulatory money which is strangling small business. We in the small business world will finally have company in the misery we’ve been in, so the fiscal cliff is both a great equalizer, and a great opportunity for new markets, new companies and new hiring. In short, the cliff gives us the certainty we’ve been craving. That’s the message that the small business world wants sent to Washington–over the cliff, please! The other thing he noted is that the states who would be the most afflicted are the blue states which just voted for the freakoid for re election. Those states clearly voted for him because federal money is like crack, and the freakoid is the crack dealer in chief. There is no political downside to Congressional Republicans to letting the freakoid voters twist in the wind of their electoral sins.

The greatest hubris, our speaker pointed out, is that the Democrats viewed what happened a few weeks ago as victory, or a mandate, emboldening Senate Democrats to make foolish public statements that cuts to entitlements like medicare and social security are off the table. This set up the situation for state nullification, and Perry did it this week. When Texas refused to set up an insurance exchange, the state shoved the mess back to Washington. Washington will now need to find the funds to pay for it. Well, the Democrats can’t have medicare, social security and the obamatax. The real debate, if the fiscal cliff is going to be avoided, is now not where revenues are going to come from, but whether the Democrats want social security untouched or obamatax unfunded. I’ve been hearing sighs of relief from the Republican establishment in the past week. Republican warriors in the Congress no longer have to worry about embarrassing moderate Republicans such as Scott Brown by hard line positions. Democrats in this state voted for communist extremism, and no one in the red states feel any need to bail out Boston for its decision.

The world is about to burst in to World War III. The Administration’s scandals are starting to break, as the sleeze within is oozing out. And instead of staying around and working on the people’s problems, the freakoid has gone home to Asia for vacation. great timing. Presidents always travel abroad when they know they are screwed at home, and I guess this prez has picked partying over the people’s business. no surprise there, although I expect the freakoid to show up in Gaza City bowing to Hamas any day now.

The cliff is good. Anything that starves the fed is good. Anything that cuts off the crack is only a problem to crackheads. The fiscal cliff is not an American problem–its a Democrat problem.
